Breaking Bad: The Movie
Admittedly, I don’t keep up with pop culture much, but how did I not know that a Breaking Bad movie was coming? I’m also surprised that given its popularity a thread hadn’t already been started.
Here’s a nice summary for all the luddites like me that didn’t know this was coming: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.new...455959%3famp=1 Hopefully they don’t shit on their legacy. |

It was great overall. It was truly remarkable how much I cared about the characters. I don’t normally get into the one off shit. |

This was pretty good. Vince Gilligan is a great director.

I’ve mentioned it somewhere, but Todd always frightened me. I’ve met people who remind me of them... very unsettling.
I prefer “fat, sumo wrestler body/sumo wrestler Asian looking face” Plemons compared to skinny, “picked up chicks on the FNL show looking like that” Plemons. Much more...frightening, that Plemons. |

This made me laugh. I half can't tell if it is supposed to be serious or not, but I was rolling.

Tough to watch as this was basically torture porn, all told from the perspective of Jesse. I hate that character....a complete ****up and coward. It was ultimate-cringe-inducing watching him broken and quivering. He had multiple opportunities to escape/take out his captors but was too cowardly to take them. As previously stated, I hate that character.
Spoiler!
All of that said, the writing, pacing, direction, acting, all excellent. It was definitely a solid entry by Vince Gilligan, which is not unexpected. You know you are super talented when you can make a program about a despicable useless character and still not only hold your audience, but truly entertain and do so in a smart, impressive fashion. |

Agreed. I've always been surprised by people's attitudes toward the BB characters. I get why people root for Walt but never got how walts sins were forgivable but people like Jessie and, in my opinion, Marie weren't. Skyler and hank I gst. But Jessie and Marie ended up at least having some moral conviction.

That's the genius of Gilligan...he can take piece of shit and make probably more than half of fans root for him as their favorite character. Besides, rooting for bad guys is fun.

She tried to lift hank out of depression. Took care of skyler. Adamantly defended her family. Toward the end, her and Walt Jr were almost the only main characters left with any semblance of a moral compass. Her only crime was being annoying early in the show and petty theft. Meanwhile Walt and skyler threatened her family, lied to and manipulated her husband, and was behind a lot of the murders of her husband's colleagues.

I think the objective Gillian wrote with was he was a generally good person that went down a bad road. Whereas Walt was a generally bad person that went down a good road until he broke bad. There is an interesting dichotomy there. Moreover it is a reflection of real life. Virtually no one is always good and chooses the right thing. |
